Former Independence Party chairman Tom Hamilton will be autographing copies of his recently published novel, "Time for Patriots," at the Borders Express bookstore in the Staten Island Mall tomorrow from 1 to 4 p.m.

"Time for Patriots" is a sci-fi/time travel/alternate history novel. Here's how one reviewer described the plot:

"A military academy is thrust through time by a science fair project gone awry. With no way to return, the 21st century people decide to enlist in the revolutionary war. Their agenda is to shorten the struggle and help the new nation avoid some of the major pitfalls it would later encounter. While very much aware of the "butterfly effect" they feel they can control the kinds of changes transmitted into the future and that it is worth the risk. They create a whole new time line and a whole new world. Is it a better one? I recommend you read the book and decide for yourself."
